High-elevation habitats of the South American Andes extend from 11° N to 56° S. These geologically young habitats bear a rich vascular flora, which can be accompanied by abundant mosses, lichens, and hepatics in páramo. The vascular flora contains many, and often monotypic endemic genera. Highest...
